jsonnet - Man Page
jsonnet commandline interpreter
Synopsis
jsonnet [option ...] filename
Options
In all cases:
- filename can be - (stdin)
- Multichar options are expanded e.g. -abc becomes -a -b -c.
- The -- option suppresses option processing for subsequent arguments.
- Note that since filenames and jsonnet programs can begin with -, it is advised to use -- if the argument is unknown, e.g. jsonnet -- "$FILENAME".
Available Options
- -h, --help
Print a usage message
- -e, --exec
Treat filename as code
- -J, --jpath dir
Specify an additional library search directory (right-most wins)
- -o, --output-file file
Write to the output file rather than stdout
- -m, --multi dir
Write multiple files to the directory, list files on stdout
- -y, --yaml-stream
Write output as a YAML stream of JSON documents
- -S, --string
Expect a string, manifest as plain text
- -s, --max-stack n
Number of allowed stack frames
- -t, --max-trace n
Max length of stack trace before cropping
- --gc-min-objects n
Do not run garbage collector until this many
- --gc-growth-trigger n
Run garbage collector after this amount of object growth
- --version
Print version
Available Options for Specifying Values of ‘External’ Variables
Provide the value as a string:
- -V, --ext-str var[=val]
If val is omitted, get from environment var var
- --ext-str-file var=file
Read the string from the file
Provide the value as Jsonnet code:
- --ext-code var[=code]
If code is omitted, get from environment var var
- --ext-code-file var=file
Read the code from the file
Available Options for Specifying Values of ‘Top-Level Arguments’
Provide the value as a string:
- -V, --tla-str var[=val]
If val is omitted, get from environment var var
- --tla-str-file var=file
Read the string from the file
Provide the value as Jsonnet code:
- --tla-code var[=code]
If code is omitted, get from environment var var
- --tla-code-file var=file
Read the code from the file
Environment
- JSONNET_PATH
is a colon (semicolon on Windows) separated list of directories added in reverse order before the paths specified by --jpath (i.e. left-most wins)
E.g.
JSONNET_PATH=a:b jsonnet -J c -J d
is equivalent to:
JSONNET_PATH=d:c:a:b jsonnet jsonnet -J b -J a -J c -J d
